Bought 2 SG exclusive mugs during our trip and got very upset at the cashier, who didn't seem to care that we were purchasing FRAGILE products from him. When I asked him to wrap them with care, as they would be on a plane, he simply responded, "No wrapping, only the box." He just put them in a box, and our mug set (containing a mug, a lid, and a spoon) was clinking inside. We saw, and already knew, that there were wrapping papers piled up right behind him, so we asked him again to put some wrapping papers inside. He then finally did it, but only for one mug set, and without the spoon (the most fragile part in the set). We have bought mugs from Korea, Japan, Thailand, and England, and had never had such an unsatisfying experience. Not a single wrapping sheet was provided until we asked twice. I never expected to have such a 'Starbucks Experience' in Singapore.

Came here on a Sunday. Purchased my drink at 1:45 PM. By 3 PM, we were asked to combine tables with my partner (who also bought a drink). Our table was already a single-seater because other customers had borrowed its two chairs, so we ended up giving up a table that had no chairs anyway. The staff member said it was a public holiday and that normally they don't allow people to use laptops because many customers saw there were no seats and left. She even said she had 'closed one eye' for us. I don't think Starbucks has any strict rules regarding seating time. And, honestly, my partner and I were individually working, and we had only been there for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

This place is located in a quieter corner on level 2. The drinks seem to be more milk than coffee these days. The cups are large, but the coffee-to-milk ratio could be improved.
The service counter staff seems impatient with older customers when they ask about apps and payment. It feels like they’re rushing to get to the next customer. In contrast, other establishments I've visited have been very patient and informative about their membership, benefits, and how to use them.

Located at Raffles City Shopping Centre, Level 1.
My favourite place. I love being here again.
Best place for coffee. I always order Mocha coffee.
Near the City Hall MRT Station.
There are two Starbucks located here, within 100 m of each other, at One Raffles Link, Basement 1.
Jenny Poh
Cozy and comfortable place to chill out after shopping. I've been here a few times and always feel welcome.❤️ The staff are very efficient; the drinks are in my hands even before I make payment. Super fast.

As tourists staying near Marina Bay, we were able to find a place that serves Nitro Cold Brew. What’s also great is that, although a bit of a maze, we were able to reach it using the interconnecting underground malls. All were air-conditioned, away from the heat outside.
The downside to this Starbucks was that all the tables were occupied by people working on laptops.
Sam Tay
Their morning breakfast set for $7.90 is a money-saver. It includes a meal with a big cup of either coffee or tea. Coffee offers only one choice, their in-house brew, while tea has a wide selection. The meal is delicious, even though it looked quite unappetising initially. Ambience at Raffles City Hall is decent and not overly crowded.

Starbucks at Raffles City is an iconic place where I meet friends to chill.
There's a mix of high tables and normal tables (both inside and outside facing the shopping mall). The seats inside **are** cushioned.
There's a wide range of cakes and pies you can get here.
I love sitting at the wooden high tables. **There are** also **hooks** at some of the tables where you can hang your belongings.
The yellow **lighting** gives a very warm feeling.
You can also get a wide range of **Starbucks** merchandise here.
It's located just **on the** ground floor of Raffles City. **The** nearest MRT is City Hall.
Thanks Starbucks!

They shifted from their iconic location on the first floor to this current unit. It's nice and bright, but somehow lacks the atmosphere of before.
The service staff was prompt and courteous. Got a blueberry crumble muffin to take away. A generously sized, moist, and fluffy muffin. A little sweet, but good to pair with strong tea or coffee.
Boon Danny
When travelling for business, this outlet always makes me feel welcome. Wonderful service by 2 baristas. Chucky and Raja, thanks for remembering my drinks even though I've only visited a few times. These staff members should get recognition for their service and wonderful customer care.

Starbucks at Raffles City is located at the corner of the shopping mall. The merchandise is displayed at a corner or at the start of the queue. The staff is helpful and friendly. The seating area is quite spacious and open. Mostly, the place is quite crowded. The coffee quality is quite consistent across Starbucks locations in Singapore.
Glen Wong
Regular Starbucks with ample food selection, even in the late evening on a Friday. It's crowded and hard to find space. After the relocation from Level 1, the space is much smaller and not as fun to go to compared to the previous, more accessible location. Overall, still a good place for a drink and some finger food and desserts.
DR DAVID GOH
A very popular Starbucks outlet.
It is always crowded, hence a bit challenging to get a seat.
Since the food and drink menu is the same as other outlets, the differences will be down to the service rendered by the staff and the cleanliness of the outlet.
The store was kept neat and tidy. The merchandise was well arranged.
The staff was polite and courteous too.
Great experience at this outlet.
Rudy Lim
Starbucks at Raffles City offers a cozy and convenient spot for coffee lovers in the heart of Singapore. The store has a warm ambiance with ample seating, making it a great place for both casual meetups and focused work sessions. The service is generally efficient. Their signature beverages and seasonal specials are always a highlight, and the quality remains consistent. However, seating can be limited during rush hours. Overall, it’s a reliable Starbucks experience with a strategic location.

I get a decent cappuccino fix here on quiet weekday mornings and sometimes hold casual meetings here, though I know the dining decibels can become quite distracting.
But, barring the noise level, lack of natural light, and the peak-hour difficulty of scoring a seat, this Starbucks still rates highly in my book for its exceptionally friendly and upbeat service at the counter.
So, yeah, the food is sadly mediocre, but the positive vibes are pretty consistent.
